They are everywhere, and often park on the pavement which must be really difficult if you are trying to move about in a wheelchair and there are cars blocking everything. Public transport isn't much better as almost no where has level boarding here either so someone needs to come over with a fucking ramp - except they probably won't so you need to change at the next stop when someone wakes up and lets you off and then go back to the previous stop to get off where you actually wanted to.

We don't hate on cars. We hate on the fact that most cities are car-centric where you can't even walk; we dislike who buys a 5000L truck and uses it only to get kids from school and so on

Cars as a hobby are cool. A society built around cars is stupid. Billions of people using cars daily is pretty dangerous to us all.

I like shooting guns. It's loud, smells funny, and you get to train patience and self-control. It's a cool hobby. A society built around guns is... well... just look at the US.

I feel ya. I'm currently waiting for a part for my motorcycle to come in so I can take apart the clutch again. But what makes it fun is that my entire ability to transport myself isn't dependent solely on my motorcycle. If I needed it running in order to get to work every day, I would never take the time to work on it - I would be forced to take it to a mechanic to ensure the job is done right, and fast, because I can't afford the luxury of making mistakes and learning on my own.

The pushback against cars is pushback against car dependence, and the externalities that cars create in our shared urban environments. Not against hobbyists who just think cars are neat.

Your hobby is fine as long as you don't impose the externalities on other people. I don't want to hear your loud engine, I don't want to breathe your fumes, and I don't want to worry about getting hit while just walking around.

Same here. Especially going wild. I like windy narrow roads. When driving through the remote village in the woods I grew up in, I’m using about 37 liters / 100 km. It’s a one way road and pretty fucking fun to drive.

Outside of that I’m down to 4.2 liters / 100 km lol

Only if you ride this.

Can't speak for others, but I don't participate in the stereotypical mad rush from the suburbs to the city and vise-versa every day. My commute is about 7 minutes, provided I don't feel like deliberately taking a detour to meander through the countryside on my motorcycle after work.

Due to the nature of my work I do have to be in the office, though, to interact with... ugh... clients.

No cubicles, just "open concept." Ha, checkmate! /s

It's (near) the top of Spruce Knob in West Virginia, looking West over the Appalachians, into the Allegheny Plateau.

If that happens, you'll see a bunch of retalliation from WFH programmers-turned-political-hackers

Yeah I was getting ready to post some similar comments because it's just too close to the weird shit they post

Which are still radiated at you through the ether ;)

Podcasts are just on demand talk radio.

I read it as being aimed at the kind of people who put "EMF blocking" stickers on their phones.

I know. There is a helpful image with the word "RADIO" atached to the claim.
